Mindfulness-Based
Relapse Prevention is a program designed to teach individuals suffering from
addictions to use mindfulness practices to cultivate an increased awareness of
triggers, habitual patterns, and “automatic” reactions that seem to control
their lives. Through these practices individuals learn to put space between a
trigger and a reaction, so that more skillful actions can be chosen.
Similar to Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for depression, MBRP is a
program designed to integrate mindfulness practices and principles with
cognitive-behavioral relapse prevention. It is not a process-oriented
psychotherapy group, nor does MBRP promote, endorse or discourage any religious
ideology.

The
course consists of eight, 2-hour, weekly sessions. The total cost is $400 and
includes materials.

Who is right for MBRP?

MBRP
is best suited to individuals who have undergone initial treatment for
addictive behaviors, or who have some recovery under their belt and have
abstinence as a goal -- people who wish to maintain their treatment gains and
develop a lifestyle that supports their well-being and recovery.

What are the goals of
MBRP?

»
Develop awareness of personal triggers and habitual reactions, and learn ways
to create a pause in this seemingly automatic process.

»
Change our relationship to discomfort, learning to recognize challenging
emotional and physical experiences and responding to them in skillful ways.

» Build
a lifestyle that supports both mindfulness practice and recovery.
